HVO is an innovative biofuel produced from biological waste, manure, and used cooking oils and fats and thus does not compete with food production. The use of HVO fuels reduces the carbon footprint of DEUTZ’s engines by up to 95 percent.
“We are offering our customers more than one route to climate neutrality. The approval of additional fuels for our drives complements our E-DEUTZ program and our hydrogen activities.

EN 15940-standard paraffinic fuel is compatible with fossil diesel, and the two fuels can be mixed and used in any ratio. Synthetic fuels, known as e-fuels, will complement paraffinic diesel fuels in the medium term. These e-fuels are produced using hydrogen generated with renewable energy and carbon dioxide from the air or industrial processes.
